making your infinity more responsive in the trigger department 

Oh my god this is genius. You have made me fall in love with my Infinity all over again. It's like a completely different airbrush. I cannot thank you enough for this, you absolute legend.

Cracking idea, I'll give it a go. This could easily be one of those fixes & videos that go viral. We'll know when everyone is out of stock of the washers 😂

You genius! I've never bothered to try and fix mine, ive just worked with it. I'll go do this to mine in a mo. Thanks for fixing this mate

Great fix Rob and as you said why wasn't this done from the factory, it makes you wonder who tests these brushes before they go into production if someone like yourself tested them at the design stage then these problems would be sorted👏👏👍

It changed everything. Thank you, sir.

i have both the infinity cr plus and the new giraldez infinity. I tried the fix for the infinity cr plus and it worked like a charm. For the new giraldez infinity though no fix was needed. Seems they fixed it in the meantime themself ;-)

Really great fix, just got the infinity and did this before first use and it’s just so spot on

Thanks for simple fix. Although in saying that my Infinity, which is about a year old, doesn't seem to have the play in the trigger at all. Maybe H&S sorted it.

Big up Gunther that is genius bit fiddily if you've got bratwurst fingers well done Rob 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Exactly the problem I’m feeling on my H&S evo. Subscribed !

thank you for the tip. I did this modification to my HS evolution and it helped a lot!

Another idea is to increase the spring rate. You can use a micron spring or combine two h&s needle springs. I prefer combining two springs as I can modify one of the springs to make the combination just right.

Perfect. I had a very long trigger pull to get paint. This worked hella-great!! 😎😎😎

Thank you, Just received my new infinity a week ago. I will take your advice and make this and make this alteration.

Great info I don't have a Harder & Steenbeck but I do have a couple of brushes that have horrible trigger response so I'll have to see if I can do something like that. Thank Rob

Thank you for making this video. I will be trying this modification ASAP but I can see straight away that this fix will work like a charm!

I struggled with my CR plus. Did it and it's freakinly awesome now. 👏👏🙌 You're a Genius Thank You

I have a few of the V2s and they were supposed to not have this issue but still do. Great idea mate and such an easy fix but genius.

Simply pure genius, well spotted and thanks for this video!

Thanks for this easy, logical remedy to the Infinity trigger response issue. I am going to try this with some 3 mm ptfe tube that i have.

Thanks! It definitely works. I noticed that I had to unscrew the needle stop on my Silverline Evolution to account for the two PTFE o-rings.

thanks for this. I have an Evolution CR plus and this little hack sorted out the trigger response . (I used some tiny little nylon washers from m3 bolts that I had lying around but they do the same job as the nozzle seals)

I just wanted to drop by and say thanks, I was having issues with my H+S Silverline 2 in 1, sometimes i would spray way wider cones than i anticipated despite pulling the trigger back the same distance, but just assumed i was bad. I saw your vid almost by random chance, thought why not give it a shot. Here I am now able to write perfect consistent lines. Thanks so much dude you're an absolute legend. I really recommend anyone with an H+S give this a go as they all use this same mechanism. Thanks again

Excellent video, I've always got on OK with mine but this will make it better no doubt.

Got the seals today and just made the upgrade to my Infinity. What a difference! Thank you for that brilliant and simple improvement.

Nice instructive video..........look forward to the trigger "fix"....................

You sir are a genius. Thank you for sharing this clever solution.

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated.👍

Thank you for the excellent video and hack to improve the trigger response. I used the leftover Teflon washer from the .015 nozzle I destroyed while doing my first cleaning wit that brush. The needles and nozzles are stupid fragile. Reamed out the id of the washer as you showed in the video and slipped it on the needle chuck. The thickness was perfect for eliminating all the play in the trigger responsiveness.

Just done the fix. Really amazing difference. Thanks.

Iwata black suits knocking on the door to be expected 😂

Well Bud, that should make a lot of H&S owners happier. Who knows i might even pick up an ultra to give this a try now. My last look at H&S i was completely put off by the trigger response. From the factory its pretty horrible if you have used almost any other brush for a period of time. Add to that an infinity is pretty pricey here. Looks like a good hack

Tank you so much. I've tried it on my infinity crplus, and it immediatly improved both my feeling and the airbrush precision (tested with 0.4 and 0.2 needles). Work best with the two recommanded Harder&Steenbeck o'rings adjusted to fit the diameter of the needle command than with a washer with some play.

Genius. Thank You.

Absolutely a fantastic video! This little fix is such good news for all the H&S owners who have been suffering with poor trigger response. Excellent and important video.. nice job!

Good fix. Works a treat. Big Thankyou

Awesome fix! Thank you so much. 🎉

Did this on both my CRs and its a night and day difference. I just got a Grex xgi3 and it has the same style trigger setup, did the hack on that one as well. Thank you big time.

I love my Infinity but I also hate the trigger randomness. I bought the Infinity even though you warmed about this problem in a few of your video for way back. If this works for me too I will love you forever!!! You are an absolute LEGEND!

Thank you for this! I was getting a bit annoyed that my expensive Infinity was a bit frustrating to use compared to my Iwatas at half the price.

Thanks a lot for the idea Rob. You can also try something much cheaper instead of wasting the Teflon washers and these are the heat shrink insulators. Just need a couple of diameters and then cut them to the desired length after you put them on.

Thanks for the sharing. It works! I have try out another quick fix by using a o-ring.

Muchas gracias por el consejo ,acabo de comprarme un infinity y lo haré para mejorarlo.👍👍

Brilliant! Just ordered the seals to try it out

Very interesting! Great video!

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been on the fence on buying the H&R Infinity CR Plus 2 in 1 for quite a while now. It's been the reports of poor trigger response that's been holding me back, and I've been looking for alternatives. With this, I can finally pull the trigger and buy it! :D (Now I "only" need to find a silent compressor that is also somewhat affordable)

Thank you so much, I'm so glad someone solved it for whole H&S community. This thing was hunting me for such a long time!

Another grateful user here :) Again, amazed H&S never bothered to fix a very common problem with their brushes. Maybe my Iwata CR will not be my go to after this!

Absolutely brilliant, you bloody brain box! Thank you so much for sharing this 😁💪

Formal Stand and Salute to you for figuring this out! I purchased the Teflon seals and will install this! You saved me a LOT of money as now I don't need to buy the Iwata Custom Micron.

Nice, Ive been using an Infinity for several years and noticed the hysteresis on the trigger. You've solved it very eloquently. Thank you !

Nice work. I was slowly coming to the same conclusion (after stripping it down and finding where the slack was), but the penny hadn't quite dropped without trial and error, but you've solved it, simply eloquently - thank you! 💜✌️💜👍😊😊 Imho the Evolution trigger (without the "weight saving"/"trendy" holes), is smoother in operation than the Infinity's too🤔😉✌️👍 But I agree, do it to the whole range - for such a great range of products H&S (R&D dept) really have dropped the ball!🙄🙄💔 My detail brushes were for fine work on models and whilst atomisation was great etc, spraying Eg bolt heads in 1:48 scale? Hit and miss literally😠😠😠🙄🙄 Thanks again 👍✌️💜😊

How good is that, great fix, and I don't even have a H&S.

Hey Rob. When I saw this guide I immediately went to my desk to check on the airbrush. Owning the H&S Infinity KYIV Edition I wanted to see if I just missed the issue with it "not being responsive". It would not come witha surprise as I have only a much more cheaper brush to compare against. However, I found the KYIV Edition to be extremly responsive. The moment I touch the trigger I can see the needle move.

WHAAAAAAAT !!!..... You're a Genius.. Thank you.. 💫

Wow! Thank you.

You sir are a legend! I really wanted to like this brush but that trigger response was awful! Now you've sussed this out I really can love it. I owe you a beer....

Great Hack! Awesome Video!!dredgenious!

Thanks, will test it

The issue has always been there for me, But since I was using urethane paints for years, it wasn't that bad. After switching to acrylics I found it to be unusable, or at least not worth the struggle.This makes the Infinity the brush I imagined it to be when I bought it. I have noticed a rub however. The quick fix needle limiter is not quite right, I know you don't use it, so you may not have noticed. I may trim the sleeve on the limiter where the butt of the needle goes in.

Awesome - just bought mine 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is great stuff. I'm about to buy my first airbrush and settled on this one for miniature painting. Then I saw reviews complaining about this issue. This is a very logical solution! I like that it also doesn't void any warranty! I feel safe buying this airbush again now :) Thanks!

Thanks @Dred FX, thats a mighty upgrade on an allready great brush. Now all I had laying around were some head gaskets for a Badger 100-200. Is that the reason I now have to set my needletravel (screw on the back) at all times?

Amazing! Thanks!

Brilliant!

You're a treasure. Bought this airbrush so that it would be "good enough for anything I'd do" but was annoyed by this single problem only. Luckily I also have Dremel, so using your precise instructions was a breeze. Thank you so much!

Thank you SOOO much!!

Thanks I'll being doing this.

Filled with awesome, a sub well earned.

Rob, the folks at H&S really should take this fix into consideration going forward. Yes, it's going to cost them a bit here and there, but this seems like a no-brainer in the H&S in-house upgrade department.

Nice one rob, you have revolutionized the h&a, so now you need a big paycheck from them I suppose. Lol wouldn't that be nice

Excellent vidéo

I 3d printed a 5mm diameter 2 mm thick ring and it worked perfectly.

I LIKE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD MAN !!!!!!!!!

I have no play on any of my 4 H&S guns and the paint flows instantly if thinned correctly. But I will try this and maybe is makes them even better.

Hi.... Mine also have veil in hole where the steel chrome round part goes through the oval hole i brass machined part. So needle still wait a couple of hundreds μ before moving. Maybee depending of how used, worn out brush is?

Hi Dred FX, Great tip you show here. I m going to fit it on my H&S Silverline soon. One of my best airbrushes but yes I found the trigger effect a little bit delayed when working under 15 psi. Do you think adding washers like this could improve the performances of an H&S Ultra?

Kind of makes you wonder what the H & S engineers do in their spare time? Awesome fix, thank you.

Tak właśnie zrobię😊

had three h n s and went back to iwata specifically a takumi and will never look back. every time i went to use my h n s airbrush the next day the needle was stuck so had to clean and disassemble before every use, and always cleaned and or flushed after every use

Thanks, I’m going to try it.

What size washers did you use in this video? Just curious what to look for at the hardware store.

hmm, This is one of those situations, "why the heck didnt I think of that". When I got my procon PS-270 and 289, my Infinity vanished in to my box of airbrush bits and bobs, and havnt used it for probably a couple of years. was thinking of selling it multiple times and try a Grafo T1 instead. But I'll give this ia go now for sure. Ever tried th egrafo T1 btw?

I have my suspicion why they did it that way. On my Evolution Silverline, the push action on the trigger is sometimes sticking or slow to release with the needle full forward because the stem of the trigger sits against the case, so the air doesn't shut off every time or only does so slowly. If I hold the trigger back a little bit while chucking in the needle and thereby increase the slack, it works perfectly, but I need to be a bit more careful to find the trigger point. If the mechanism was preloaded by default, that stickyness would be way worse. I wouldn't rule out that H&S would need to redesign their entire trigger group to resolve that potential issue across all product lines.

First of all, thank you for the helpful videos! Especially for me as a beginner! What is the conclusion after 9 months? Has something changed on the airbrush or has damage occurred? I also want to install it in my Infinity because the trigger also bothers me, like a broken clutch in a car! Cool tip! Thank you very much!

When your new washers arrive, put those in your needle tip and take the old ones and adapt them for the trigger fix.

@harderairbrush, any thoughts on making an official H&S spacer for the needle chuck?

Don't know if this helps but you can turn the trigger round so the back of it faces the front of the airbrush it feels slot more comfortable that way cheers

White size of washer did you use? I don’t have a gauge

Nearly 6000 views mate 👍👍👍👍

I think they implemented the exact same fix when they introduced the giraldez version of the crplus. They will probably update the rest of the infinity/chameleon line with the same bit.

anyone having infinity , and looking for egronomic grip , you can put the badger finger and thumb rest plactic piece .. i got the sotar 2020 and had ordered the handle for airbrush like grex makes , i had to remove the black plactic thumb rest for sotar to fit in the handle , and i screwed the thumb rest to infinity and its bit more comfortable

i tried it with some washers that i took from the rotary tools cutting dics , they were bit thinner than the teflon washers so i put some extra , but the result was ,there was alot of reduction in triggrer travel , the more i added ,more the trigger travel reduced to the point where i could not flush any clogs by pulling the chuck from cut away handle . I carefully checked and the little cylinder type thing that is at the front of the nut shaped tube housing sits flush to the walls of the slot in the trigger , then without washers is checked trigger by pulling back just a mm and there is no play as the walls of slot sits totally flush on the nut shaped tube housing and the little round cylinder sort out guides and locks in the slot . I think the art tools channel is right there is something to do with the front end it self .. i was bit worried about the play which is bettween the golden curved lever hole through which the trigger shaft passed horizontally but when we press the trigger for air that play is eliminated .. i guess its the harsh truth that it is so difficult to do xtra fine lines with infinity and yet thats what i wanted from it and spent 400 aud on it .. and only after my purchase i came across the vedio of the artworkshop chanel . and i realised i fffed up . i have not tried 771 but my advice to any one who is thinking between infinity or 771 go for creos . . i have had bad experience with sparmax gp 850 fan cap as well .. round cap is fine but there is no point i got it for fan pattern . i recently started practice again and i think the thing the has helped me is i figure out the distance i have to pull the trigver to get fine line the wind the fluid control and leave little bit more room for triigger travel from that point . and then when it stops you can free pull on the trrigger with little force and if paint still does not come i clean the tip and can confidentily pull the trigger fully as it would be ristricted to the point where i get fine lines .. and when the clog is stubburn then unlock the neddle limiter and flush out by using chuck nut through the cut away handle

What size are the washers? I can't get Harder & Steenbeck - PTFE Nozzle Seal. Thanks for Idea

Hello I'm having issues where if I use my brush and then come back after about a day, the trigger is stiff, bordering on frozen stuck. If I use it a bit it'll sometimes stop pulling the needle back too. Wondering if you have any ideas on what's going on? I'm using an infinity "cult of paint" edition.

Does anyone know if the new Giraldez suffer from this problem? I can see it couldn't fit the washers if it does, because it doesn't have a round shaft.

This seems like a weird design flaw to me. Which is a shame because these brushes are otherwise fantastic. Thanks for sharing this!

Been looking for a solution to this for ages, on a premium brush like this I would expect the dead one to be tuneable, apparently not

Thanks mate! I found if you just press hard enough on a flat surface the teflon washers will press onto that piece without needed the burr tool.

Nice little #Hack mate I'll be tricking out my Silverline next week. How did you get on with your new ink was the studio to cold for us to have a look?
